WOW Vlad, you and your helper are doing a great job there, have been wondering how its all been going Did any damage happen to the cab when you lifted it ? I am wanting to lift my cab off and pit heat shield and more sound depending under it Great stuff and thanks for sharing Paul

Maybe its the internet over here at the moment but I cant get those YouTube links to work No good asking Swishman to help, he would say they have Volvolized or some such thing Paul

Another man ruined

Thats why I reckon we cant nominate our own toys , instead it must be someone else's Gives every joker a chance then Paul

In Australia before the days of luxurious power steering and the like trucks had either a lesser or greater castor angle which caused you to chase the wheel at speed down the high Often this is referred to as taching, like sailing a yacht This is easily correct by returning the caster to the correct angle with wedges between the axle and the springs The purpose of the incorrect castor angle was it made it much easier to steer at low speed as in parking ot tight manoeuvring Im guessing this was a common practice back in tbe day across the world Im also guessing the castor angle was decreased but a proper wheel alignment place should be able to give you correct castor or no doubt google can help Then off to your local hardware store and buy a spirit level doodah that can measure angles and see what you come up with Paul

As far as I know phasing of drive shafts is only needed when more than one drive shaft is used Each shaft generally is not lined up, the yokes on each shaft must be lined up but the yokes shouldnt be lined up between shafts As in the yokes should be not in a straight line down a drive shaft Usually starting from the gear box end each is set one spline tooth lagging the shaft in front However this not always needed . Unsure why and or whats differrent but I think it may have to do if the shafts are balanced as a whole or separately I doubt there is many places that can balance a combination shaft 25 feet long I also think the phasing may have to do with one shaft interfering or affecting the other I do not know this and only am guessing Paul

No mention of anything like that I know of Superliners on triple road train work grossing over a 100 ton ever day of their working lives 44's , 12 speed ,440 and 500 E9's that have done over a million miles or 1.6 million km with out a spanner on the gear box or diffs The E9 motors never had the longevity of a E6, dont get me wrong they are a good motor just not as good as a E6 in my opinion Back to figures above for the box and diffs, I feel they are pretty impressive figures, to put that weight into USA truck talk thats over 250,000 pounds They are huge figures, Mack sure new how to build gear back then Paul

Sounds like you just volunteered to make 2021's calender Should be plenty of people to volunteer photos of their pride and joy or who knows maybe even someone elses pride and joy We could have to nominate a photo that isnt our own and you get to choose 12 or maybe 14 if we include front and back covers Paul

This came across a Facebook page in Australia 1 owner 5.5 million km or 3.41 million miles in the old money Not a bad innings I would say What sez you lot Paul

Well it's almost all there Paul

Yes things snow ball very quickly sometimes

Are these the trucks made in Turkey or some where around that part of the world Have read about them on here but brain must be over full as I can't remember the details lol Paul

Alcoa 10 stud rims Or Budd rims you blokes call them I think I have noticed there are two types mentioned on here Piloted mounted or some such thing and the other type So this may seem dumb to you lot but apart from Budd rims on a old truck with double nuts and rims on a Isuzu that rims just clamped up really really tight these are the only two stud mounted rims on trucks I have had any thing to do with I gather the Isuzu was a pilot mounted jobby and the other was Budd as it had that stamped on the rims I have only spider hubs on trucks and trailers You blokes call spiders dayton or some such thing So can some body give me the low down on the ten stud jobs and the whats what and whos who of them Thanjs in advance fgor thw wisdom Paul

There is some one asking what these are worth on a Australian forum, no one has any ideas Anyone know what this made or didnt make as was hoped for Give a starting point for the one in Australia Paul

Thats how we unload tipper truck and dogs in Australia , even end tipper road trains can be done the same way

Well there's lots and lots I could say but little point Watch out USA your manufacturing your in the firing line just as much as Australia Oh and just in case no body in other parts of the world knows The slang meaning of what Holden means H hope O our L luck D doesn't E end N now Sorry Holden and Australia it appears it has Thank the UN and their scum bag mates for giving all of us Australians the proverbial rough end of the pineapple, bastards didnt even use lube Paul

Gotta rotate on the phone or what ever your using before loading them up Paul

I'm still checking the mail box each morning for the new conventional Autocar to turn up Maybe I need a bigger mail box lol Truck looks really good, wishing all involved the best of luck Paul

Im glad its all coming together for you. Its a big commitment taking this project on Should be all smooth sailing shortly with any luck Paul

Im thinking you may well be right

Well this is how it ended up Seller provided the stat dec which doesnt really mean much as a criminal type isnt gunna care about filling out a false document So I as agreed tried to pay the quite considerable amount of money into his account with details he provided me of his account This is many many thousands of dollars Anyway the payment came back from his bank as his bank rejected his account details I phoned my bank and they said I had all the correct details and all was confirmed as been correct and matched the details provided My bank suggested fraudulent activity on his behalf was the reason why, they wouldn't go into any further details but I felt they clearly new what was what My bank advised extreme caution before going any further and also advised me they thought it would be extremely unwise to proceed So I contacted the seller and left a message I heard back from him today and got a mouthful of abuse So looks like its not the car for me Paul

Shall do seed If I get back to have another look I will go down this path At this stage I have pretty much relegated it to the one to avoid Or to be more correct the seller is the one to avoid Sometimes in life we are better off to just walk away from things Paul

Fantastic stuff, Im impressed Thanks for sharing Paul
